December 2025 monthly summary for pytorch/pytorch: key focus on Triton integration changes. Delivered removal of legacy AutoWS support in Triton to simplify the codebase and improve compatibility with Triton 3.5+ versions. The change reduces technical debt and sets up a cleaner upgrade path for downstream users. Validation included a documented test plan, with Buck-based tests and Triton heuristics validation as outlined in the PR and differential revision (D87881729, PR #169089). No major bugs fixed this month; primary accomplishment is feature removal with validation.

November 2025 monthly summary for facebookexperimental/triton focused on API stability and configuration compatibility. Delivered targeted fixes to restore backward compatibility for the TMA API and autotuner configuration, ensuring existing deployments continue to function without code changes. Reintroduced deprecated autotuner parameters to align with older configurations and prevent runtime configuration errors. The work integrated fixes from the release-3.5.x branch and included a back-out of an unnecessary revert to restore old API support.
